Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 167,799, datedSeptember 14, 1875; applicationv led January 29, 1875. I

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, CHRISTIAN STATTMANN, ofthe city, county, and State ot' New York, have invented a certain newCombined Collar and Muff, of which the following is a specilication:

This invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawing, in Which'-Figurel is a front View. Fig. 2 is a longitudinal section.

Similar letters indicate corresponding parts.

This invention consists inl a collar and mui, combined or connectedtogether by means of a supporting-strip, in addition to the front andlining, in such a manner that the two articles are more rigidlysupported on each other and preserved in shape.

The letter A designates the collar, and B the muft', which may be madeof fur` 0r cloth, or of both, as seen t.- The face of the mutt' and aportion of the face of the collar is made in one piece of material, C,while with the collar is combined Vadditional or outer pieces, D.'

The outer pieces D are connected to the inner or muff piece C by sewingor in any-other suitable manner, and they are made to terminate inanimalheads E or other ornamental appendages, whereby they acquire theappearance of a boa, as seen in Fig. l.

The inner piece C of the collar is provided With an aperture,`F, fromwhich extends a slit, b, whereby the collar may be drawn over the headof the wearer, the collar being, by this means, put on or taken off. Theslit b is closed by means of loops secured to buttons,

or by any other means suitable for the purpose.

Between the front andr lining of my coinbined collar and mutt' isinserteda supporting- Y piece, G, Fig. 2, of ticking or other exiblematerial possessingthe stiffness of ticking, which extends the entirelength of the collar, or nearly so, and around the muft, being stitchedto the front or to thev lining at suitable inter- .A

vals, whereby the muti' and collar are more rigidly connected to eachother, and their shape is preserved for a long time.

My combined collar and muft' may be made and lining of the collar andmutt, and extending the entire length of the collar piece and entirelyaround the muli', substantially as described, whereby the shape of thelatter and the collar is preserved, asand for the purpose specified.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing I*r have hereunto set my handand seal. v

CHRISTIAN STATTMANN. [L. 8.]
